The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...

Its orderly rows of outer hair cells is unique among the organs of the body. Figure 5 shows a short section of the organ of Corti as it spirals in the cochlea. The organ of Corti is larger and the ...

A new discovery reveals that the cochlea — the spiral-shaped organ that turns sound into electrical signals — is even more complex than scientists once thought. Researchers at Yale University ...

Their analysis was able to explain the frequency selectivity originally measured by von Bekesy in cochlea obtained from cadaver ears. It was known at the time that the measured frequency selectivity ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. The non-invasive method could ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz (THz) imaging to visualize cochlear structures in mice, ...

Despite this, and despite the serious negative impact of severe-profound hearing loss on quality of life, fewer than 10% of people who are eligible for cochlear implants ever have one. We don't ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz (THz) imaging to visualize cochlear structures in mice, offering non-invasive, high-resolution diagnostics. By creating 3D ...
